Trout Mask Replica
TMR Vault #36
This is Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band's Trout Mask Replica Vault #36 from Third Man Records. This set is the 2 record Trout Mask Replica on Fruitcake Fish-Scale Colored Vinyl. Also included in the Vault set is a Special Edition 7" Single of Pachuco Cadaver b/w Wild Life, a Replica Trout Mask, Trout Mask Replica Patch, a Jack White Epitaph for Don Van Vliet in Blue, and a reproduced lyric sheet. Vault package is only missing the Tote Bag.
From the Vault Card;
"Out of print on vinyl for nearly ten years, this remaster was helmed by industry legend Bob Ludwig and cut by the estimable Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Utilizing crystalline-quality safety masters kept in the Zappa family vault for decades by the trustworthy Joe Travers, the audio here is positively glorious. Every last skronk breathes full life into the room. Every twisted guitar figure uncurls onto paths previously unpaved. Every last bark and howl shines resolute through the vast emptiness of your mind.
Previous countless Trout Mask Replica repressings have used scans of scans of scans of the cover image, but for Vault Package #36 the original Cal Schenkel cover photo has been tracked down and reproduced at its clearest - its resolution from the original release in 1969. If you've only ever seen a jpg online of fuzzy, smeared-looking CD issues from the 90's, be prepared to be wowed by the fully engaging spectrum this iconic image casts. This 2xLP is pressed on heavyweight 180-gram fruitcake fish-scale colored vinyl for that full-on frenetic feeling."
Condition is Near Mint, pristine, never played (see images).
